== Labeling articles that are too technical ==
For articles that are not sufficiently understandable, the {{tlx|Technical}} template should be inserted at the top of the article. ''You should put an explanation on the talk page with comments on why you believe it is too technical, or suggestions for improvement''. Templates added without explanation are likely to be either ignored or removed. Articles containing this template can be found in [[:Category:Wikipedia articles that are too technical]]. For overly technical statements, use {{tlx|Technical statement}}.
Various templates are available for labeling articles that do not meet agreed standards of understandability.
